We had a 9 hole non-counter on Friday and having an 18 hole non-counter on Wednesday. Next Saturday we're having our first competition counting for our handicap. The bunkers not being raked isn't an issue for us as we generally don't have rakes as the local dignitaries come onto the course and...

We've had an email saying they're looking at what can be changed in phase 2 but nothing specific. Our competitions have started back - there was a 9 hole stableford on Friday and there's an 18 hole stableford this Wednesday neither of which are counters for handicaps. Next Saturday is the first...

We've to start using the Scottish Golf VMS app from next week. It allows you to book, pay and enter scores online. If it works well then it sounds perfect for what's needed just now. I wonder if clubs using it will be able to get back to competitive golf earlier.

We're solo or 2 balls from 29th unless there's any new announcement before then. No mention of a limit on distance from course. One of the guys I play with lives about 15 miles away. As long as he drives straight to the course and doesn't stop anywhere I can' t see how he'd be putting any more...

Sank to a new low tonight - my daughter had us doing a tik tok dance. Come on Nicola ffs a man can only take so much!

Had to mute it. Let me know when he's off.

I think Scotland will be 1st June as the next official review is on 28th May. Anything earlier would be a bonus. I'm a bit worried that if the numbers do start going up in England (which would be nothing to do with golf) the Scottish govt take fright and lock us up for even longer.

Wouldn't be surprised if that's what we get in Scotland just to show we're different and somehow more sensible than those in WM - and I actually like Nicola Sturgeon (usually). I've finally accepted my fate and will just take what we get when it happens.

I could have guessed that. Your flag kind of gives it away.

The more I hear people getting their tee times the more jealous I get. Bloody Scottish Parliament - if I'd only known it would stop me playing golf I'd never have voted for it.

Aye but we should........ Oh sorry forgot I'm not allowed. ;)

If you ask for 3 balls then they might give you 2 balls as a compromise.

If they bring this in in Scotland then I could play with my son but he's still at the stage where he shouts and bawls and chucks clubs about if he hits a bad shot so might just play on my own.

I don't repeat it day after day as you suggest but only when there's a reason for it. We've just had a statement from the prime minister which doesn't make any sense when it comes to social distancing in a park as opposed to a golf course. I think it's reasonable to point that out. Also when I...

I don't think only I should be allowed to play golf I think everybody should. Pointing out how ludicrous the situation is is justifiable. You're the only person who seems to have a problem with it. Just ignore my posts from now on or block them if you must.
